Chapter 3
Favine stepped back almost tripping over pink suit case. He had his back to the wall as he looked down to a still sleep Pandora. "What, what is she doing here? What is she doing in my bed?" Favine said as he edged his way out of his room, and back to the safety of the hall way. The hall way was safe, it was normal, it did not have Pandora in it, and to Favine it gave him the time needed to figure out what to do next. 'Wait, I thought she was moving into a place? Crap, I forgot we had that opening.' Favine thought as he mentally punched himself for forgetting a detail like that. 'So she moved into my dorm room, no big right? Yes, yes it is a big deal; she is sleeping in your bed.' Favine hung his head down. There was no way he could explain this to Seph. She would just yell at him and cry. "I need help here." Favine said out loud.
"Help with what?" Came a soft voice from where Favine's room door would be. Favine looked up to see Pandora standing there, looking half tired as she looked at him, and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "Um" Favine began to say before he was pulled into his room by Pandora. "Oh my god, I just… I hope you did not mind me sleeping in your bed. You looked so happy sleeping there on the sofa with um… What's her name? Sephoron's twin sister." Pandora went on her quick little tangent about his room, and Sephony. It seemed to Favine that she had snapped out of her sleep phase, and felt she had to quickly explain what was going on. "Then Sephoron am I saying that right? Well he said I could stay in your room tell he finishes clearing his stuff out." She looked to Favine, and realized she had him pinned against the wall and was pushing up against him as she spoke. "Oh, I'm so sorry Favine." She said as she stepped away from him, a crimson color showing lightly on her face. "Any way's I'm the new roommate you guys asked for. Sorry I did not tell you before; I was hoping to surprise you or something. But you were asleep when I got here.
Favine eyed Pandora as he slowly moved away from the wall. "No need for that. Sephoron was the one that placed the ad." He looked toward the hallway. "But I was too busy in training that I forget we would be getting a new roommate." He said as he looked back to the girl sitting on his bed, a half-naked girl at that. Favines face grew hot as he realized that Pandora was only wearing a very loose tank top and underwear. "No need to be sorry." Favine said, cursed Sephoron in his thoughts. It was most likely a joke of his in letting Pandora move in. 'Hey bud I found a new roomy... Oh yea she is also the same girl that kicked your ass earlier today.' Favine made a mental note to kick Sephoron's ass in the morning.
Favine slid down that wall and sat on the floor. He looked around the room one more time. It was a pretty big room, the master bedroom of the apartment, but Favine never did use all the space. Most of it was empty or had training equipment lying around. The room also shared a bathroom with Sephony's room, which always made for strange morning brag ins and late night surprises. Maybe Sephoron was right in getting a female to take his spot. Favine thought to himself for a few more seconds before a felt a pair of eyes on him.
"Umm, Favine? Everything alright? You seemed to have zoned out." Came the voice of Pandora. Favine rubbed his eyes and looked at her. " Hmm? Nah. Just thinking about if it would be best to just let you keep this room and I would take over Sephoron's. It's a bit smaller, but I don't need all that space. Plus it has its own bathroom, so your ladies can have your private time and not have to worry about a raised toilet seat." He shot her a smile and went to looking around the room.
Pandora eyed him as the two sat in silences for a few minutes. She was the first to break the quiet when she asked Favine if he wanted to sleep in his bed. He looked at her and his mind went straight to the gutter. "Umm…" His face grew hot and he looked to the empty hallway. "No, you can stay, you looked like you were having a great sleep. Nah, I'll carry Seph to her room and crash in the living room for tonight. Got a gig anyways" He pulled himself from the floor, nodded his head, and walked out the room. A few seconds later he walked up the hallway with Sephony in his arms and into the room on the right. After he fought the still sleep Sephony from pulling him into her bed, he tucked her in and walked back into his room. He stopped and looked at Pandora, his mind having forgotten about her that quick. "Oh yea, you." He narrowed his eyes at her. "You are not going to try and pull me into that bed are you?" The event with Sephony still fresh in his mind.
I was not planning on it." She said as fixed her top and crawled back under the covers, watching as Favine changed cloths and grabbed his bass guitar. "Umm… Do you usually change cloths with girls in your room Favine?" Pandora said, as she watched him change from the safety of the covers. Favine froze for a second and looked at her. "Totally forget you were here." He grabbed a second bag and looked at her. "So I have this show. You seem to be a fan of our music." He said the last part as he pointed to her phone. "Why don't you tag along? It's a small show, only a few songs. We are just opening." Favine shouldered his bags and headed towards the door, as Pandora jumped out of the bed and looked around. "I'll wait for you in the living room." He said as he headed out of the room.
It only took Pandora a few minutes to get changed and ready, and the pair walked out of the building. Favine's eyes grow wide as he looked at the amount of bloody bodies lying about the courtyard. "WOW. You guys went all didn't you?" He said as he looked at a large blue and gray banner that signaled that his house had won the large courtyard brawl. Favine took Pandora's hand and lead her over to his car, stepping over passed out fighters as they went. It was only a short walk to the student parking lot, and once there Favine unlocked the car and loaded up his gear. "They should have equipment there for us." He said to no one in general. He waited for Pandora to get in before starting up the engine and pulling out.
